Suggest Treatment For Headaches, Body Aches And Muscle Weakness
Question: I have a severe headache, stuffy head, body aches, muscle weakness, watery eyes, and cough. I already have a bad back but it is making my back hurt worse. My headache is so severe it hurts to move my head- I feel like this is worse than a migrane.
Brief Answer:
You could try naproxen tablets.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. For severe headache, you could try naproxen tablets. For my patients, I use 500 mg two times daily.
If symptoms persist beyond 2-3 days, it may be better to get a brain scan done to find out the exact cause of symptoms.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,

What about the other symptoms.. I would at the least you would say flu..anything else besides flu??
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be anything other than flu.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
The symptoms are classical of flu, so, there is no need to consider any other diagnosis at this stage. We expect improvement in a day or two, and that would confirm the diagnosis further.

This is day 7, I have a dr appt today.
Brief Answer:
Further evaluation is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
As seven days have passed without much improvement, we need to exclude other conditions such as sinusitis, with or without intra-cranial spread. Clinical examination should be followed by CT scan of para-nasal sinuses and brain to exclude other causes.
